#222840 XBOX ONE conference games, played via a high end pc with NVIDIA gpu

Posted by grahamf on 16 June 2013 - 06:34 PM

I feel like Microsoft did this because the XONE kits aren't hooked up to the XBL servers yet, so they had to use this PC to emulate the power that is possible with cloud. They prob did this bcuz everyone know s that Ps4 is more powerful, and considering the box is &499, they needed to show potential, even before the Ps4 price announcement

 The problem is, not everyone will have access to high speed internet. Heck, I won't even trust my internet to be 100% reliable.

 

My main worry is that developers will be targeting these GTX 780 specs, leaving them with a major problem when the official hardware is released.


Yeah thats how it usually works. 360 had straight g5's instead of 360's its first show. Except, they mirrored the ballpark range of console specs, those units are packing titans or 780's. Nowhere remotely close to what the xbone will have, completely blows it out of the water.

This is going to make one ugly bottleneck when it comes time to make the move to actual xbones.

yeah. If I recall correctly the PowerMacs even had a core disabled to better emulate the 360.




#222789 depressing DRM question

Posted by grahamf on 16 June 2013 - 03:20 PM

Nollog what are you talking about? Aside from the Wii to Wii U transfer utility (or sending the console to Nintendo) it's impossible to transfer your licenses to another console. And Disk games are not under DRM (except that the console has to be hacked to run unofficial copies) so you can give those to a friend no questions asked.


#221580 If Sony and Nintendo merged.

Posted by grahamf on 14 June 2013 - 05:34 AM

I'd be worried about nintendo losing it's focus on gaming.


#219980 Something amazing happened

Posted by grahamf on 11 June 2013 - 06:30 PM

People keep on saying that Nintendo needs to change with the times, but they forget that what makes Nintendo is that it stays in the timeless wonder of childhood. You grow older, but there's always someone discovering Mario for the first time.

Which is why I laugh at those who complain how everything nintendo is just rehashes of the old. Nintendo's target audience might not remember the old.


#219744 Xbox One price and release

Posted by grahamf on 11 June 2013 - 01:06 PM

Everywhere on the internet, Google it der, did you not see the Sony press conference, everyone knows about it, heck there are even threads on this forum about it.

Sorry I had just woken up at the time.




#217969 Nintendo said my ID was inappropriate so I had to delete it

Posted by grahamf on 09 June 2013 - 07:36 PM

I don't see the point in complaining about your name choice.

 

Everywhere lese lets you change your username, so it doesn't sink in that for the Wii u you have to be abso-horsing-loutely positive you will not have to change your name.

 

Even I had to change my name because I wasn't 100% comfortable having my last name in my NID. But because I wasn't sure about Nintendo's policy I called them and discovered i'd lose all of my eShop stuff, so I just set up a Mii dedicated to eShop purchases (and I do all of my purchases on that account)




#217609 Why people say Wii U is "current gen", and why they're complete d...

Posted by grahamf on 08 June 2013 - 09:42 PM

then why am i still playing my PS3 currently?

Because you haven't purchased a next-gen console yet.

 

 

 

 

Of course, it might be better if we specify exactly when a generation becomes current or last gen. Here's my method:

 

Before Wii u launched: Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii are current gen and Wii U, PS4, and Xbox One are next gen.

 

After Wii u launched and before PS4 and XBone launches: Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii are last gen and Wii U, PS4, and Xbox One are next gen. there is no current gen

 

After Wii u l, PS4, and XBone launches: Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii are last gen and Wii U, PS4, and Xbox One are current gen.




#217514 My Idea for Wii U's 3D Mario Title

And it'll glow under a black light.


#217425 Doctor Who Discussion Thread

Posted by grahamf on 08 June 2013 - 10:33 AM

The way they think time works is stupid then.

It's sort of a wibbly wobbly ball of stuff.

 

 

But I figure the basic principle is that: If an event was witnessed by a time traveller, that time traveller cannot go back and alter or prevent that event.

 

It's a pretty shaky theory, but it (or something similar) could explain why the Time Lords could bounce around time until they had experienced the bubble.

 

Or possibly the Doctor simply damage the time vortex enough in that period of time and space that time travel was virtually impossible.

 

Ok, I give up. It's more fantasy than science fiction.




#216814 WHAT IS THIS GAME?

Posted by grahamf on 06 June 2013 - 07:07 PM

Why do those characters look like various "adult toys"?!?!

That's what I was wondering...

 

 

Looks like a drinking game. That's all the judgement I'm going to pass about it.

#216180 Why didnt Nintendo just make wii u more powerful?

Posted by grahamf on 05 June 2013 - 12:43 PM

After all said and done, we have what we have. Nintendo obviously intended the Wii U to be as powerful as it is. I just can't shake that feeling that the Wii U should have been the console they should have released in 2006 :-(

They should've launched it instead of the NES. Doesn't mean it was possible at a reasonable price point at the time, though.
